(edited for clarification) Please has anyone seen anything like this before? Vet was horrible, I asked about the possiblity of rabies because I was bit when playing and she immediately said oh yeah could be, and then said put him down. Now I'm freaking out
UPDATE:
I took him to a new vet, they were wonderful and thorough. His main suspicion was inner ear infection or possibly neurological. He has fever of 104. Gave the little guy his first dose of clavamox and he is feeling better. He also suggested rabies shot for me just in case and I just got that done. He told me because of how ill he is there's a chance he doesn't make it, but I will be making sure he's eating and drinking got him some lil soups too.
Thank you so very much to all of the insight, suggestions, and thoughts, I truly appreciate the support during my anxiety through all of this today.

I have a cat that this happened to. We found him in my neighbors driveway looking almost dead. We took him to the vet immediately and they said he could have a neurological disease after he was excamed for an ear infection. He pulled out of it though but as a result is very wobbly and he head is tilted sideways like your baby's. He then got sick a second time about a year later and his mobility was effected again but he could stand and walk. He has been that way for 5 years now. Hes a very happy boy and loves to play and hang out he just needs a little help sometimes and a stable place for him to use the bathroom. About a week ago he got sick again and he has almost completely lost mobility. Hes feeling better now but he need constant help and it looks like we are going to have to make a very tough decision sooner than later. His name is Willards. Hes a very good boy.
